Bank Frick issues warning about fraudulent «Frick Starter» offer
Bank Frick would like to draw attention to the fact that emails which are currently presumed to be fraudulent are in circulation. In these emails, third parties are misusing the name, logo, as well as image and presentation materials of Bank Frick.
Under the name «Frick Starter» or «Livret Frick Starter», an alleged savings account or investment product of Bank Frick is being promoted. Among other things, a guaranteed interest rate of 5.75 per cent is being promised. Bank Frick would like to make it clear that it does not offer any such product.
The messages known to us refer to externally hosted documents and an online form intended to create the impression of an official offer. Bank Frick has no connection whatsoever with email addresses using the domain “open-account-clients-regulatedprofil[dot]com”.
Bank Frick strongly advises against responding to such emails, providing personal information, making payments, or transferring cryptocurrencies.
Further information can be found in the warning issued by the Liechtenstein Financial Market Authority.

Focus on Crypto-Assets: New FINMA Requirements for Asset Managers
The Swiss FINMA has clarified its requirements for the custody of crypto-assets by asset managers. The new directive mandates that crypto-assets must be held separately for each client with a regulated custodian, such as a bank or an institution under equivalent supervision. Foreign custodians are only permitted if they provide bankruptcy protection equivalent to Swiss regulations.
Asset managers with crypto strategies and investment products—especially AMCs and ETPs—must review and, if necessary, adjust their current setups. Regulatory-compliant, legally robust, and operationally reliable custody solutions have become essential.
Bank Frick, as a MiCAR-licensed and regulated bank, offers tailor-made, legally secure solutions that combine regulated custody, trading, and additional services—positioning itself as a reliable partner in light of increasing regulatory demands in Switzerland and the EEA.
